Higher magnifications in the 150x - 300x range on, say, a 12", really helps in making the dust band visible. It is much easier at 150x than at 100x in my 12". That does require good conditions. If the conditions are mediocre or worse, even at a dark site, the galaxy will be very diffuse and sort of just blend in with the background. High magnifications from dark sites on good nights can really bring out the best in galaxies.
Clear skies!

My observation notes show that I maxed out power on this object at a dark sky site at 104x. I'm wasn't bright enough to try to push the power a bit more. It was still great at 104x, though.
